[Rin looks down to the letter again, his brow heavy with worry.]
For weeks I've been passing everything I learn to her. We work pretty well as a team, you know? People talk to me about stuff, and she's good at putting the pieces together and figuring things out.
She is incredible at such a thing, isn't she? [ it makes him fond, truly - two of his favorite people in the world. ] We often discussed the greater matters of this place together, and she taught me much in theorizing and trials, alike.
... I feel the same. [ a little quieter - but she's not here now, and i feel kinda lost. he gets that. the loss of susato still hurts, and badly. ] But... if there is a way I can help, then I'm happy to do so.
[ the questions are rhetorical, but this is something he feels pretty strongly about. ] Does killing that other person bring your person back? Does it solve anything, to cause more violence?
[ because yeah. he knows exactly what rin is saying. ]
I was asked to look after Mr. Joonghyuk by Mr. Dokja this week in case he disappeared on another adventure. That was not the case [ can you believe how hard i was deathflagged ] - but I intend to fulfill my promise.
I will keep him from acting rashly no matter what. I won't allow any more blood to be shed than already was, or what will be Sunday. No more.

If someone kills a person who is important to you, do you have the right to kill them in turn?
[It's related to what Xie Lian is asking, honest.]

No. [ point blank. ] I don't think you do.

[It feels easier to say when someone agrees with him.]
